Buna Independent School District Mission Statement The development of social and academic skills which assure all students the opportunity to become productive members of our democratic society is the primary mission of the Buna Independent School District. The belief that all students can learn is integral to accomplishing this mission.

Goals Process for School Improvement Each year, the district and campuses are involved in the school improvement process, and a considerable amount of time and effort goes into producing, monitoring, and evaluating goals. Determining where we need to improve and focusing on those areas are the important parts of the goals process. Collecting input for areas of campus and district improvement involves our administrators, teachers, parents, support staff, and the Board of Trustees. In following our annual process, we arrive at a completed set of goals that helps provide focus for school improvement and student success. Our schools set high goals: it would not be conducive to school improvement to have goals, which only reinforce the status quo or which present easily attainable results. We may not achieve all our goals, but we will focus our professional efforts on these priority areas for achievement.

The ACT Assessment® is designed by ACT, Inc. (http://www.act.org) to assess high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The examination covers four academic skill areas: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning. Participation in and performance on the ACT are indicators in the Texas public school Academic Excellence Indicator System. Academic Excellence Indicator System The AEIS reports, published each year by the Texas Education Agency, pull together a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. These reports are posted online on the Texas Agency Education website in the fall. Advanced Placement The Advanced Placement Program® is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools and colleges and universities. It provides high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. Students who participate in the Program not only gain college-level skills, but in many cases they also earn college credit while they are still in high school. Typically, courses and examinations are taken by 11th and 12th grade students. Admission, Review, and Dismissal Committee The admission, review and dismissal committee is composed of a student’s parent(s) or student, and school personnel who are involved with the student. The ARD committee determines a student’s eligibility to receive special education services and develops the individualized education program for the student. Adequate Yearly Progress Under the accountability provisions in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, all public school campuses, school districts, and the state is evaluated for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Districts, campuses, and the state are required to meet AYP criteria on three measures: Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, and either Graduation Rate (for high schools and districts) or Attendance Rate (for elementary and middle schools). English Language Learner/English as a Second Language Students whose native language is other than English Education Service Center There are twenty service centers that serve the Texas educational needs. Education service centers are a nonregulatory agency that collaborate and serve schools. Education Service Centers serve as a liaison between the Texas Education Agency and the local schools districts and the schools they serve by disseminating information, conducting training and consultation for both federal and state programs. The Education Service Center for our region is ESC V located in Beaumont/Silsbee. Locally Developed Alternative Assessment The TAKS M assesses special education students in Grades 3-11 who are receiving instruction in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) but for whom TAKS and an inappropriate measure of their academic progress. Language Proficiency Assessment Committee The Language Proficiency Assessment Committee is responsible for assuring that each student who speaks a language other than English in our schools is provided a language support program that best meets the needs of that student. LPAC committees are composed of administrators, teachers, and the parent of a limited English Proficient student.

No Child Left Behind A federal law enacted in 2001 which required districts to test students in reading and math beginning in 3 rd grade, with science assessments added in 2009-2010. The law requires schools and district to make “Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)” or face sanctions. The law also requires that 100% of the core area teachers be highly qualified, as defined by the state education agency (with federal government approval), by the end of school year 2005-2006. Personal Graduation Plan An intervention plan developed by the campus for students in grades 8-12 who did not meet the passing standard on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test or any student who is at risk of not graduating from high school. Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System Is an automated data system that reports annually on the performance of school districts and charter schools in selected program areas (bilingual education/English as a second language, career and technical education, special education, and certain Title programs under the No Child Left Behind Act). The SAT® is developed by the College Board (http://www.collegeboard.com) to assess high school students' readiness for college-level work. Participation is voluntary. Students can choose to take the test multiple times. Participation in and performance on the SAT are indicators in the Texas public school Academic Excellence Indicator System. State Developed Alternative Assessment The TAKS A assesses special education students in Grades 3-11 who are receiving instruction in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) but for whom TAKS is an inappropriate measure of their academic progress. TAKS A becomes a part of the school accountability system in the 2002-2003 school year. Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills As mandated by the 76th Texas Legislature in 1999, the TAKS tests have been administered since the 2002-2003 school year. The TAKS measures the statewide curriculum in reading at Grades 3-9; in writing at Grades 4 and 7; in English Language Arts at Grades 10 and 11; in mathematics at Grades 3-11; in science at Grades 5, 8, 10, and 11; and social studies at Grades 8, 10, and 11. The Spanish TAKS is administered at Grades 3 through 6. Satisfactory performance on the TAKS at Grade 11 is prerequisite to a high school diploma. Satisfactory performance on the TAKS for Grades 5&8, the student must meet the standard on the Reading and Math section of the TAKS test to be eligible for promotion. Texas Education Agency The Texas education Agency is the state agency responsible for the state supervision of public elementary and secondary schools. Texas Education Code The Texas Education Code (TEC) contains most of the statutes passed by the Texas Legislature that directly affect education. Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills identify what Texas students should know and be able to do at every grade level and in every course in the required curriculum as they move through the public schools. Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System TELPAS is designed to assess the progress that limited English proficient (LEP) students make in learning the English language. The TELPAS assessment measures student proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Buna Independent School District Mission Statement The development of social and academic skills which assure all students the opportunity to become productive members of our democratic society is the primary mission of the Buna Independent School District. The belief that all students can learn is integral to accomplishing this mission.

Goals Process for School Improvement Each year, the district and campuses are involved in the school improvement process, and a considerable amount of time and effort goes into producing, monitoring, and evaluating goals. Determining where we need to improve and focusing on those areas are the important parts of the goals process. Collecting input for areas of campus and district improvement involves our administrators, teachers, parents, support staff, and the Board of Trustees. In following our annual process, we arrive at a completed set of goals that helps provide focus for school improvement and student success. Our schools set high goals: it would not be conducive to school improvement to have goals, which only reinforce the status quo or which present easily attainable results. We may not achieve all our goals, but we will focus our professional efforts on these priority areas for achievement.

The ACT Assessment® is designed by ACT, Inc. (http://www.act.org) to assess high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The examination covers four academic skill areas: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science Reasoning. Participation in and performance on the ACT are indicators in the Texas public school Academic Excellence Indicator System. Academic Excellence Indicator System The AEIS reports, published each year by the Texas Education Agency, pull together a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. These reports are posted online on the Texas Agency Education website in the fall. Advanced Placement The Advanced Placement Program® is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools and colleges and universities. It provides high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. Students who participate in the Program not only gain college-level skills, but in many cases they also earn college credit while they are still in high school. Typically, courses and examinations are taken by 11th and 12th grade students. Admission, Review, and Dismissal Committee The admission, review and dismissal committee is composed of a student’s parent(s) or student, and school personnel who are involved with the student. The ARD committee determines a student’s eligibility to receive special education services and develops the individualized education program for the student. Adequate Yearly Progress Under the accountability provisions in the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, all public school campuses, school districts, and the state is evaluated for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Districts, campuses, and the state are required to meet AYP criteria on three measures: Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, and either Graduation Rate (for high schools and districts) or Attendance Rate (for elementary and middle schools). English Language Learner/English as a Second Language Students whose native language is other than English Education Service Center There are twenty service centers that serve the Texas educational needs. Education service centers are a nonregulatory agency that collaborate and serve schools. Education Service Centers serve as a liaison between the Texas Education Agency and the local schools districts and the schools they serve by disseminating information, conducting training and consultation for both federal and state programs. The Education Service Center for our region is ESC V located in Beaumont/Silsbee. Locally Developed Alternative Assessment The TAKS M assesses special education students in Grades 3-11 who are receiving instruction in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) but for whom TAKS and an inappropriate measure of their academic progress. Language Proficiency Assessment Committee The Language Proficiency Assessment Committee is responsible for assuring that each student who speaks a language other than English in our schools is provided a language support program that best meets the needs of that student. LPAC committees are composed of administrators, teachers, and the parent of a limited English Proficient student. The LPAC serves as the students’ advocate to make certain they receive the appropriate services. 28

No Child Left Behind A federal law enacted in 2001 which required districts to test students in reading and math beginning in 3 rd grade, with science assessments added in 2009-2010. The law requires schools and district to make “Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)” or face sanctions. The law also requires that 100% of the core area teachers be highly qualified, as defined by the state education agency (with federal government approval), by the end of school year 2005-2006. Personal Graduation Plan An intervention plan developed by the campus for students in grades 8-12 who did not meet the passing standard on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test or any student who is at risk of not graduating from high school. Performance-Based Monitoring Analysis System Is an automated data system that reports annually on the performance of school districts and charter schools in selected program areas (bilingual education/English as a second language, career and technical education, special education, and certain Title programs under the No Child Left Behind Act). The SAT® is developed by the College Board (http://www.collegeboard.com) to assess high school students' readiness for college-level work. Participation is voluntary. Students can choose to take the test multiple times. Participation in and performance on the SAT are indicators in the Texas public school Academic Excellence Indicator System. State Developed Alternative Assessment The TAKS A assesses special education students in Grades 3-11 who are receiving instruction in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) but for whom TAKS is an inappropriate measure of their academic progress. TAKS A becomes a part of the school accountability system in the 2002-2003 school year. Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills As mandated by the 76th Texas Legislature in 1999, the TAKS tests have been administered since the 2002-2003 school year. The TAKS measures the statewide curriculum in reading at Grades 3-9; in writing at Grades 4 and 7; in English Language Arts at Grades 10 and 11; in mathematics at Grades 3-11; in science at Grades 5, 8, 10, and 11; and social studies at Grades 8, 10, and 11. The Spanish TAKS is administered at Grades 3 through 6. Satisfactory performance on the TAKS at Grade 11 is prerequisite to a high school diploma. Satisfactory performance on the TAKS for Grades 5&8, the student must meet the standard on the Reading and Math section of the TAKS test to be eligible for promotion. Texas Education Agency The Texas education Agency is the state agency responsible for the state supervision of public elementary and secondary schools. Texas Education Code The Texas Education Code (TEC) contains most of the statutes passed by the Texas Legislature that directly affect education. Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills identify what Texas students should know and be able to do at every grade level and in every course in the required curriculum as they move through the public schools. Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System TELPAS is designed to assess the progress that limited English proficient (LEP) students make in learning the English language. The TELPAS assessment measures student proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing.
